## Overview

Interactive VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) model visualization - Explore electron pair arrangements (bonding pairs and lone pairs) in 3D, molecular shapes resulting from electron pair repulsion, bond angles affected by lone pairs (LP-LP > LP-BP > BP-BP repulsion), various geometries including linear (180°), bent/trigonal planar (120°), tetrahedral (109.5°), trigonal pyramidal, trigonal bipyramidal (90°, 120°), seesaw, T-shaped, octahedral (90°), square pyramidal, and square planar, with adjustable parameters for central atom (C, N, O, P, S, Xe), total electron pairs (2-6), number of lone pairs, and electron pair size. Includes comprehensive geometry reference table with examples (CH₄, NH₃, H₂O, SF₄, ClF₃, XeF₂, etc.) and hybridization (sp, sp², sp³, sp³d, sp³d²)
